As Jesus prepared himself for the Crucifixion he has a conversation with Peter as follows (GGJ 11.46.3):

"'See that which is happening in My soul, will never be experienced by any human heart, because now the Son of Man must elevate Himself to the Son of God. That is why he will also will be stripped of all His power and then all of you, who were around Me up till now, recognise the will of the Father.'

Peter asked: 'Yes Lord, but You yourself are the Father. Then how can you be stripped of your power?'

I answered: 'The greatest warrior and hero is he who meets the enemy also without weapons and does not fear death if he knows that he will strike down the enemy sooner by his contempt of death. That is why I lay down all weapons of power and go to meet the enemy only with the power of the word, of meekness and of love, so that also he will lay off all weapons of cunningness and evilness and will come near remorseful as the lost son'"
